The Head of Government affirmed Morocco’s aspiration to strengthen this partnership and to consolidate it by capitalizing on the positive results achieved, as well as on the innovative approaches and good practices implemented under these two compacts.
He stressed that the Compact II constitutes a consecration of the strategic partnership between Morocco and the United States of America, as a lever for development combining investments to upgrading infrastructure in strategic sectors in our country, to the institutional and structural reforms in which Morocco is committed, under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty the King.
The closing of Compact II of the MCA-Morocco program was an opportunity to take stock of the important achievements of this program, which has been allocated a budget of $460 million by the Millennium Challenge Corporation, to which the Moroccan government has contributed more than $120 million, which is about twice the threshold set at 15 percent of the American contribution.

In this regard, a decree-law has been issued concerning the dissolution and liquidation of the MCA-Morroco Agency, in accordance with the provisions of the law establishing the agency. The liquidation operation of the agency will be completed by July 29, 2023.
